Sunsets and Hearts

Sunsets and Hearts, is the project of Mexican American Artist, Car Gonzalez. He got his early start in 2009 when a friend left his entire recording equipment in his apartment for a week. It couldn't have came at a better time, as which Gonzalez has described was at the lowest point in his life and had a suffering need to release music at any cost.

He recorded a set of demo's and released the dancey, drug pop single "Designer Drugs" which grew popular among friends and music blogs alike, later that year he released the "Despair & Desperation EP (Dec 2009)." Five months later he followed up with the highly obscure garage experimental, "Vive Tu Muerte EP (May 2010)."

In late 2011 he relocated his music project to Austin, TX and released the highly anticipated first full length album, "Altered Faze (Dec 2011)" and received much critical praise from music blogs for its interspersion with pop beats, soft melodies and synthesized compositions. The soulful single "Samantha Gamma" showed a softer side to Gonzalez and became the heartfelt single that grew popular in early 2012.

In 2012 he detached himself from the then-current Chillwave Austin music scene and recruited the help of Brooklyn producer Cedar Apffel (Natureboy) and followed up with the avant garde, "Variant EP (Nov 2012)." Where he incorporated changeable influences seeking out post-punk, electronic drone, minimalist ambience and intimate acoustics.
